Just dropped a new piece for WSLR, about Fighting for Florida, a film I viewed at the Sarasota Film Festival this past week.
On camera, behind the mic, and honestly really proud of how this one turned out.
🎧 Link to the broadcast piece in bio.
Art with purpose hits differently.
Grateful to support and attend the premiere of The Healing Mirror at the @mysff Sarasota Film Festival—an incredibly moving documentary by @secondhearthomes@waevyfilms and all Second Heart Homes residents (from homelessness to having butterflies in their backyard!) highlighting healing, creativity, and second chances.
Moments like this remind me how powerful storytelling can be when it’s rooted in real lives and real transformation. For more information and donations, please visit
Honored to be in rooms where impact, art, and community come together. @artavenuefl@waevyfilms@theprincesspoetess@spectrumspeaksfl@skittlez780

Thank you @mysff What an incredible block of animated shorts. So much beautiful work happening in indie animation right now. We’re beyond honored that My Neighbor has received this Best Animated Short Film award, and so glad we could be there in person. It was a wonderful surprise to see so many older adults at the screening enjoying the film, a great reminder for us that the film is for all audiences.

What an incredible evening at the 28th Annual Sarasota Film Festival. 96 lbs. of Dynamite left the audience inspired and director Loren Goldfarb was there to bring the story of Chad McDaniel to life in person. A film about wit, grit, and refusing to let anyone set the limits of your life. April 16, 2026 at Suncoast Technical College. Photos by Janet Combs.
